Some advice I have is get some great running shoes , I have been trying to find a great shoe , just got the Adidas climbacool running shoe. What a difference!!!!!!! They are lighter , more flexible and don't have that huge heel, that you find on most shoes. I don't think high heels work for running. I have been using Asics, they are a terrible running shoe, at least for me. I want to gradually break into the five finger shoe for running.

Remember to eat your bananas before a run! and Stretch stretch stretch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My New shoes!

Isn't that something?

I *love* my Asics and, as I mentioned, got a new pair just after I got started more seriously on this jogging thing.

Even while I'm jogging, I am *very* aware of how comfortable they are....especially on my heels.

So far, so good anyway...
